One good action that could lead to life forever

Whether his family already has enough honor

Bring honest questions about life to Jesus

Trust your own goodness and stay self-assured

Wait for someone else to ask on your behalf

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I cannot make myself right with God. I turn from my sin and from trusting my own goodness. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I ask you to give me the life that never ends and to be my Lord and Savior. Lead me from self-reliance into your eternal life. Amen.

Lord Jesus, Give Me Life

Lord, revive your Church so we come to Jesus with honest hearts and humble questions. Free us from trusting our own goodness, and give us a deep hunger for the life only you can give. Make us a people who seek you first and help others find you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Our Hunger for You

Pray by naming one area where you are searching for meaning, goodness, or lasting life. Ask Jesus what is true, and then ask for the courage to follow his answer today.

Pray Your Deep Question

Bring these before God: any confidence in your own goodness; any fear of coming honestly to Jesus; any desire to earn what can only be received.

Turning from Self-Trust

Pray for people who are asking big questions about life, goodness, and eternity. Ask God to lead them to Jesus and to give them the grace to keep seeking until they find him.

For Seeking Hearts

Thank God that eternal life is not something we manufacture, but something he gives. Thank him for meeting sincere seekers, and for the hope that life with him does not end.

Thank You for Life That Lasts
